Plot: While dog sitting for some friends, I invited Talene and Katie over for some sewing fun! Talene was so kind to bring her sewing machine (and even let me borrow it when I didn’t finish my skirt), Madonna.

This being my first major sewing project, I am happy with the results! I didn’t follow one exact pattern, but I wouldn’t have figured it out without help from my friends and these tutorials online: this one and this one. Attaching the waistband meant sewing with elastic thread in my machine, and that was the trickiest part to figure out.

I love the fabrics, LOVE the yoga style waistband, and the best part is its reversible! It will be a great addition to my summer @ camp wardrobe, and I am excited to rock this skirt in Roatan this upcoming week!

Plot: Seeing as it’s the Eve of Christmas Eve, I thought it was fitting to post my Christmas skirt. If I remember correctly, I picked out the fabric first and then decided it would make the perfect holiday skirt. I needed some help from my mom to figure out how to go about making the pattern that was in my head. I have since worn it year after year to many a holiday gathering.

I was browsing through my mom’s closet when I came across a blouse that I’m always borrowing. I decided I would make a blouse of my own using my mom’s as a template. I made my very first pattern, using the original as a guide, and used fun, sheer fabric to construct the new one. (I will try to locate the original blouse to compare it to the new one)
